What is the maximum size of an Append Blob?

The maximum size of an Append Blob is 195 GB. Append Blobs are a specific type of blob storage in Azure that are designed for operations that add data to the end of the blob. This characteristic makes them ideal for scenarios such as logging and storing data that needs to be continuously appended.

Each Append Blob can consist of multiple blocks, each of which can be a maximum size of 4 MB. This allows the blob to be built up in a series of increments rather than as a single upload, making it easier to manage large volumes of appending data while conforming to the size limit of 195 GB.

For context, the other options represent sizes that exceed the limits set for Append Blobs. This highlights the specific constraints tied to this type of blob when compared to other blob types in Azure, such as Block Blobs which can have sizes up to 4.75 TB, and Page Blobs which can go up to 8 TB. Knowing the distinct characteristics and size limitations associated with different Azure storage types is vital for efficient data management and architecture in cloud environments.
